Zoopolis offers a new agenda for the theory and practice of animal rights. Most        animal rights theory focuses on the intrinsic capacities or interests of animals,        and the moral status and moral rights that these intrinsic characteristics give rise        to. Zoopolis shifts the debate from the realm of moral theory and applied ethics to        the realm of political theory, focusing on the relational obligations that arise        from the varied ways that animals relate to humansocieties and institutions.          Building on recent developments in the political theory of group-differentiated        citizenship, Zoopolis introduces us to the genuine "e;political animal"e;. It argues        that different types of animals stand in different relationships to human political        communities. Domesticated animals should be seenas full members of human-animal        mixed communities, participating in the cooperative project of shared citizenship.          Wilderness animals, by contrast, form their own sovereign communities entitled to        protection against colonization, invasion, domination and other threats to        self-determination. `Liminal' animals who are wild but live in the midst of human        settlement (such as crows or raccoons) should be seen as "e;denizens"e;, resident of our        societies, but not fully included in rights andresponsibilities of citizenship. To        all of these animals we owe respect for their basic inviolable rights. But we        inevitably and appropriately have very different relations with them, with different        types of obligations. Humans and animals are inextricably bound in a complex web of        relationships, and Zoopolisoffers an original and profoundly affirmative vision of        how to ground this complex web of relations on principles of justice and        compassion.
